I agree with the sentiment, with the except of foreign policy. I am doubtful that any candidate - including Mitt Romney - who has not spent years thinking and even better (in the cases of Gingrich & Santorum) making decisions related to foreign policy is qualified to be President. But Justice Thomas would make a great Vice President (where he would pick up training in foreign policy, should he need it.)

We can`t afford to lose him off the Supreme Court. To run for public office, he`d have to step down as a justice, no? And do we want 0bama making the nomination to replace him, with a timid GOP unwilling to filibuster an inevitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg clone?

He would have to resign his seat this year. The incumbent Rat would nominate his replacement, the Rat Senate would fast-track the nominee, and the Supreme Court would instantly shift to a socialist/degenerate majority.

Thomas is a brilliant jurist. His 100 page concurrent opinion in McDonald v. Chicago, addressing gun liberty in the 14th, not 2nd Amendment, should be required reading for anyone studying constitutional law.

However, he almost certainly does not have the “political impulse”.

From my point of view, the next POTUS should set his mind from the start, to dismantling much of the “imperial presidency” and executive branch.

He should make a deal with a Republican congress to slash and burn decades of federal growth, in such a way that such cuts could not be prevented by the Democrats, who would do everything in their power to stop them.

Not just cutting the rate of growth, but real cuts.

Likewise, he should resolve ahead of time that this will not be popular, so he could very likely only hold one term. But if done immediately on his being sworn in, by the time the midterm elections take place, the benefits should have manifested themselves. So at least the Republican majority in congress would continue.

One thing it might do, however, is get about 100% Republican turnout, due to the threat: Elect Clarence Thomas President, or Obama - not a Republican - will nominate another Sotomayor to replace him. But that pitch won’t work with Independents or cross-over Democrats.

This article, written by Jeffrey Toobin, is a reluctant admission by the left that not only is Justice Thomas brilliant, he is shaping the direction of the court for years to come. He quotes several lefty law professors.

This is an attempt by a liberal academic to discredit Justice Thomas to make him appear political. Justice Thomas is supposed to be an apolitical judge. This piece in the left wing Daily Beast is just a cynical attempt to make him appear political.

This is another way of killing any chance of getting a conservative constitutional direction for our country, instead of the dictatorial socialist state our enemies (both domestic and foreign) want. Our RINO’s would like nothing better than to get him off the SC bench, and ensure the growth of the socialist state by putting him up on the ticket and throwing all the mud they can create to ensure Soetoro/Obama is reelected. No thanks; we need him right where he is!

(The more I learn about the Constitution, the more I realise this Government is UNconstitutional !!)

Monsanto seeds contaminate farmers crops - then Monsanto “owns’ their crop - and the farmers are no longer allowed to save and use their own seeds. i.e. - Monsanto now owns the food supply. Like this farmer, they destroyed many farmers.
